Tay Becomes Superhuman! Lautner Cast As Max Steel

wenn2658892lautner.jpg

Taylor Lautner is officially Hollywood's latest It Boy!

The Twilight star has been cast as the lead of Paramount's upcoming superhero action flick, Max Steel!

Based on the Mattel franchise, Max Steel is the story of a "19-year-old extreme sports junkie recruited by a secret agency after an accident infects his body, leaving him with superhuman powers," which we're positive Lautner will have no trouble portraying.

He's already got the bod for it!

      This boy needs to go away already, he's empty and has no personality, what is with society loving this kid for just his body ? Lame.

    9. 9

      I'm kind of over him, I used to love him, but he's too much of a player..I guess, also I'm over swifty, i think she's a little backstabber, i mean who dates her best friend's exboyfriend, regardless of wether selena is okay w/ them dating or not, you just don't do that to your best friend out of respect



    10. 10

      I think we're going to be seeing Taylor in a lot more movies and especially in male lead roles. I mean, lOOk at him: He's got it all and he's young



    11. 11

      awesome



    12. 12

      Whoooo hooo! :D
      P.S. I like the shot.



    13. 13

      Well, that's a movie to skip.



    14. 14

      cant wait!!!!!!!



    15. 15

      Good for him!!! Hope it goes well.



    16. 16

      I'm a huge fan of anything with his 8-pack in it. A+

      Nice, hope this movie involves a lot of shirtlessness.



    18. 18

      I wonder what kind of celebrity he'll be in the future.
      Will he die out, or will he be one of those stud muffin actors that we see in a bunch of movies? I hope it's the second, because I think he's great.
      PS, loving that picture of him :)



    19. 19

      ..Everyone basis his abilities on his looks. The Twilight movies have the most piss pour acting i've ever seen. This kids only 17 as well. He probably doesnt know that you should shave you're balls unless you want a chick to go "downstairs" …



    20. 20

      PS. i'd still cum on his face.



    21. 21

      OMG!!!
      I loved him ever since Sharkboy and Lavagirl
      I tough he was super adorable back then and now hes a mature sexy ass guy that comes out in a lot of your fantasies lmao..
      I dont care if he has the body or not because honestly he is a really cool person and just all around great… Hopefully he progresses in his acting career :)
      I LOVE TAYLOR LAUTNER



    22. 22

      this movie sounds really lame.

      seriously. why cannot anyone come up with a real movie plot. i am tired of adaptations and remakes



    23. 23

      it boy ? lol don't think so ! this movie will bomb at the boxoffice



    24. 24

      good for him!

      25

      SOOO much better looking that ugly pattison. wtf do girls see in that ugly frankenstein-faced freak?



    26. 26

      Wow so these are the kinds of roles he's going to get for the rest of his life. Shirtless again? Kk I guess it's a great career nah?



    27. 27

      heeeessss ssssoooo yummmmmmmmmy!
      *swoons*



    28. 28

      HE is such a baby now…..but you know he will be so "super human hot" like AC slater when he gets older……Taylor grow up so I can fondle you !



    29. 29

      With all that extra money he can buy himself a bigger closet.



    30. 30

      I think he's cute and sweet and I love him.. But he seriously shouldn't wear suits every damn time, and he shouldn't show that permanent Christiano Ronaldo-like expression. It gives the impression that he loves himself too much.



    31. 31

      Good lookin' out that he had to get his body in tip-top shape for New Moon…. now look —> $$$$$ rolling in! it's really just THAT easy boys 'n girls :)



    32. 32

      Taytay is a real hottie. Any movie with him will be succesful at the boxoffice no matter what plot.
      The most plus of taytay is his discipline. Hugs! d;.p



    33. 33

      SEXY FACE!



    34. 34

      He's seems like a nice guy but a super hero? Shouldn't he be making Brokeback Mountain Part II with Zac Efron?

      Taylor Swift…yeah right



    35. 35

      Taylor, you're such a great role model, in just a year, I'll try to look like you. I hope to, coz he's the only role model that's cool enough. Zac Efron? Pleaaase…



    36. 36

      they're gonna make him legal in the movie i see, anws, i think it sounds pretty stupid



    37. 37

      Way 2 go Taylor!!



    38. 38

      good for him…he seems like a very sweet, good-natured boy and i hope his success continues and i hope he continues to remain grounded



    39. 39

      Whenever i see him, my gaydar goes wild. I'm quite sure he's gay



    40. 40

      ROFL ROFL ROFL i laughed so hard when i saw this.
      So have to see this movie though.
      Hopefully he'll be without shirt for a large portion of it (fingers crossed)



    41. 41

      At least he isn't playing a child-superhero with the powers of a shark, what a total Jaws ripoff!!

      He was the original shark hero.



    42. 42

      yay for tay



    43. 43

      Somewhere Kellan Lutz's head is exploding



    44. 44

      I'm a fan, but this seems like a lame movie. Also, the same producers made GI Joe, which was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. And the director has done nothing impressive. He is involved in the production of White Chicks 2.



    45. 45

      Next……….Wake up fucktard!!!!!!!!! :o )



    46. 46

      I have no idea if Master Lautner has any *real* acting talent (as opposed to posing talent, which he seems to do quite well). The movie project sounds like it is being made solely for the marketing opportunities - young men who like so-called "extreme sports" are highly coveted by marketers, because they are at the point where they are locking in their brand loyalties.
      .
      At least they are casting true-to-age, as Master Lautner will have just turned 18 when the project starts to film. I hate it when Hollywood has 29 year old actors playing teens.
      .
      Master Lautner does have distinctive looks - they don't appeal to me, but I can see where others would find him very attractive. And, at least his muscular frame is the result of legitimate weight training, unlike the fake "muscles-in-a-bottle" that Poof Petunia Efron "developed" for "17 Again".



    47. 47

      Re: zooby – I agree. It's cause people don't see Kristen, Robert, or Taylor as themselves, they see them as Bella, Edward & Jacob. Even Rob said in an interview "The fans will always c me as Edward, most of the time when ppl are screaming for me they are liks OMG its Edward!!" Re: PhunkRok – I agree The acting in the Twilight movies are HORRIBLE! I think this is the only successful movie any of the cast members will be in. Unless ppl just go & see their movies 4 their looks…



    48. 48

      I hope he can pull it off! But Taylor? Max Steele was an Arnold Schwarzenegger type superhero…hope Tay beefs up 3 times his size.



    49. 49

      Lautner needs to get a nose job. Man, that honker is big.



    50. 50

      one thing the producers are forgetting a action hero needs more them 14 year old girls to get the real numbers u need guys to come….and not in that gay way…..dudes are not going to show up for this dude



    51. 51

      Re: ArielNYC – go back to the Jersey shore



    52. 52

      LUUUUVVVVV HIM!!!



    53. 53

      AHHHHHHHHH ! OMG. that sounds ahmayyyzinnn. :)
      in your face, rob pattinsonn! shit, he wouldn't be casted in something like this for his lifee!



    54. 54

      Re: truth in lifeYou're 100% right - the kind of boys that see their favorite movies multiple times won't go to see Lautner. But they WILL show up for the extreme sports stuff. Corporate sponsors like Sprite and Mountain Dew will compete fiercely for the product placement rights. And Master L. won't make a big salary, but he will make a bundle on the merchandising. He will be able to afford to take that Swift chick to a better class of sushi bar than Benihana.

      55

      Max Steel is not that famous. They sould do a Teen Titans movie and cast him as Speedy or something.



    56. 56

      I wish him the best and I hope the movie does very well. Hopefully! We will see him in more movies to come.



    57. 57

      Can't he ever open his eyes properly?



    58. 58

      He is GORGEOUS! Inside and Outside :)



    59. 59

      weird looking boy.

      60

      Seems like a nice enough chap, easy on the eyes (in a year), well spoken, and open to the press (unlike some of his co-stars). I am not a Twilight fan, so seriously how are his acting chops?

    61. ap076 says – reply to this


      61

      Sadly the only way I could have a body like Taylor's is to kidnap him.



    62. 62

      Get a BIG Taylor fix as he hosts Saturday Night LIve next week!!!



    63. 63

      yaayyyy more movies for himm!
      but i want to see him in romantinc movies, l love his voice



    64. 64

      I really like Taylor, he seems like he's a nice guy. I wish him the best in his future acting career.



    65. 65

      and got out early for 3rd :D



    66. 66

      Does anyone remember how horrible the "Max Steel" TV show was?!
      Why would they possibly make a movie about this… Hopefully it's muchh better then the show was..

      Well I guess Taylor Lautner could improve anything hes in ;3



    67. 67

      I love Perez, i come to read the comments and roll on the floor laughing, americans are so fkucing shallow



    68. 68

      This guy is one of the biggest reasons why twilight isnt only the gayest, but also one of the worst movies of this young century.



    69. 69

      I know he's only 17 but dear God is he beautiful.



    70. 70

      Re: Lula Mae Lou – ONE: why are you calling him Master Lautner…thats just creepy. TWO: hes better actor than Robert Pattinson and K-Stew mixed together. THREE: He has already made enought money to last him like at least a decade FOUR: he can do any role he wants to because hes so famous because of Twilight. FIVE: stop trying to act like you know it all. With the whole sports things, People watch his movies, therefore he'll make money. IDK what the fuck your talking about with all that mountain dew shit, but w.e.

      and it doesnt say that hes actually gotten the role yet, and im guessing what ever Max Steel is, they'll find some way to get it popular. Taylor playing in the film is just one way of getting girls to watch it, and if it has enough action…guys will watch it too. Trust me, i live with four of them…As long as there's a gun, guys will watch it.



    71. 71

      ignore that last comment. he has been casted. i read it wrong! BUT MY POINT STILL STANDS! guys will watch it!



    72. 72

      He is a good male role model for young guys. Can't wait to see his movie. He was in Lopez nite not too long ago, he was fun too !



    73. 73

      Sounds Great!!!!



    74. 74

      Re: AngelinDisguise 1. "Master" is the proper designation for a male who is under 18. When he turns 18, "Master" changes to "Mister".
      .
      2. Could be - it's probably far too early to tell.
      .
      3. Lautner might have made a lot of money, but taxes, agent and manager fees have probably eaten up about half of that money. Of the remaining money, half is the property of his parents, and the other half is held for him in trust accounts. He may not get full control of those accounts until he's 25 or even 30 years old. Google the words "Jackie Coogan Law" to learn about these trust accounts.
      .
      4. Lautner can seek all kinds of roles, but until he has major money of his own and can finance his own projects, he has to be cast in studio projects.
      .
      5. I don't know it all - far from it - but this blog has a lot of intelligent people, many of whom do know how Hollywood works. There's no reason to dumb down our comments in this section of the website, as long as those comments are based in reality, rather than facile wish-fulfillment.



    75. 75

      Re: Perez is a hater – Its truee, I agree with you. I mean swifty seems so nice & kind, know this 'thing' with taylor L. just doesn't make her look good after what happened with Selena……

      Other than that, Congrats Taylor L:]



    76. 76

      Re: Low – that would b interesting…..:]



    77. 77

      Oh for the love of God, why oh why can't he try out for roles that don't like like if he had another brain cell it would be lonely ? It's only natural he'll target roles that highlight the body because his face will never make him millions. That said, the guy is SMALL, will this superhero be standing on a box for this movie ? At the end of the day, it's a probably a massive amount of pressure for such a young guy because he will be expected to draw in the masses to recoup money spent on mass CGI etc and will it really test his acting skills ? Nope, but that's probably the whole point………



    78. 78

      he has the tiniest eyes . looks like he has downs



    79. 79

      All I gotta say is Taylor Lautner is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo SEXY! :)
      That all that matters. (lol)



    80. 80

      All I gotta say is Taylor Lautner is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo SEXY! :)
      That all that matters. (lol)



    81. 81

      Way to ruin the next franchise. This kid isn't that great of an actor and he's ugly as hell. Oh well. Nothing original in the movies nowadays anyways. Everything is a remake.



    82. 82

      I like this. You know he's not just sticking to one thing. You know he's not just sticking to Twilight. Kristen and Rob are only doning Twilight, with the exception of THe Runaways for Kristen but still thats it. Taylor on the other hand is doning Twilight, Valentine's Day, and now this. He's making a solid career for himself. People aren't just gonig to remember him as Jacob Black the werewolf. He'll be Max Steel superhero, Sharkboy superhero, Elliot Mertaugh kid, and Jacob Black. That's good. Rob and Kristen are only ever going to be know as Bella and Edward. Unless People stick to Cedric Diggory for Rob. But i can tell. Taylor is going a long way. Definately



    83. 83

      A real man, with an unforgettable smile.
